Walt is making steady progress. Just a few weeks ago we were worrying about the functioning of his brain but he responds to commands and recognizes people. Yesterday, they removed fluid from his chest and they did it too quickly. Both Mary and Walt got scared at his response. We were pleased that he felt scared. He is off the ventilator frequently and he has stood up, all signs of progress. There is a long row to hoe for healing to fully occur but he is making progress, for which we are all grateful.
I have always been aware how important Walt and Mary have been to us since we moved to Liverpool in 1999. Now that Walt is in the hospital and Mary is by his side, I realize the huge number of tasks that they help us with. I have been making the list of all items needing attention prior to our arrival. It is a long list. Many items on the list were done by them without saying a thing, such as putting the deck furniture out from the garage. And I don't even know where we keep keys. Sooner or later I must ask Mary some questions but in the meantime, I am figuring out what needs to be done and who is going to do it. We will be ready for summer in Nova Scotia, one way or another.
